User is responsible for the safe use of these devices, as established in present

instructions for use and in the specific technical documentation of the device.

3) Installation instructions

3.1) Preparation

Remove any remains of packaging from the actuator.

There might be serious problems caused by valves installed in a dirty pipe.

Make sure the pipe is free of dirt, welding particles, etc. before installation, since the valve

might suffer irreparable damage when the equipment is turned on → prepare a clean

working area.

Plan enough space for future maintenance operations.

It is recommended to perform this task under qualified professional surveillance.

3.2) Installation on the valve

Use the appropriate supports and coupling elements to assemble the actuator and the head

with the corresponding valve.

3.3) Pneumatic connection

All connectors for pneumatic installation are the "quick connector" kind, for a pipe Ø 8 mm.

IMPORTANT: Power air has to be CLEAN and DRY.

Respect minimum and maximum power pressure (1,5 – 6 bar)

Art. 2949 (Double Acting Actuator):

4) Operational instructions

4.1) Usage

Before starting the equipment you have to read the Technical Specifications and never

exceed the Power limit values (electrical and air).

Never touch the valve and/or pipes in contact with surrounding fluid when the process is

started; you can suffer from injuries such as burns.

4.2) Manual operation

Actuator and valve are composed by mobile parts, either rotary or sliding; do not approach

your fingers to these areas as you can get seriously injured.

4.3) Special Conditions

• The operation of the actuator in extreme temperature conditions exceeding the design limits

may damage internal and external parts, and it might be potentially hazardous for the

operating or maintenance personnel.

• The operation of the actuator in extreme pressure conditions exceeding the design limits

may cause a malfunction of the actuator and the spontaneous breakage of parts and,

therefore, might be potentially hazardous for the operating or maintenance personnel.

5) Maintenance operations

The Actuator does not require maintenance.

If an internal component has been damaged, please contact Genebre S.A. to evaluate the

possibility of repairing it.

6.) Reparation instructions

Genebre, S.A. will not be held responsible for an inappropriate operation of the element or its

components.

Before starting to repair it, disconnect all pneumatic and electrical actuators.

Note: Do not dismantle the actuator under any circumstances when it is under

supply pressure.

¡Use only components/spare parts original or recommended by GENEBRE, S.A!

6.1) Disassembling

Prepare a clean working area and adequate tools to perform mechanical tasks.

Before removing the valve from the pipe for cleaning or substitution, make sure

the line has been closed and depressurized, since the wrong handling might

cause a serious accident as well as serious damage to the equipment

Remove the actuator from the valve.

Art. 2944 (Spring Return Actuator – Normal Closed):

With the help of a small press apply some pressure on the cover (part. 13) for compress the

springs (part. 7 and 8) and then be able to remove the seeger ring (part 14) that holds the

cover and piston (part.10). Slowly loosen the pressure in the cover until it is completely

released from the pressure of the springs.

Remove the cover (part. 13) and the piston (part. 10) and then remove the springs (parrt. 7

and 8).

Replace the broken down part making (part. 3, 11 and 12) sure you are using the correct

spare parts.

Art. 2949 (Double Acting Actuator):

With the help of a small press apply some pressure on the cover (part. 13) for remove the

seeger ring (part 14) that holds the cover and piston (part.10), remove the additional seeger.

Slowly loosen the pressure in the cover until it is completely released from the pressure.

ATENTTION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

• BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION ON THE

ACTUATORS, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THEY ARE NOT UNDER PRESSURE

AND FREE OF ANY ACCESSORIES.

• FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY IT IS NECESSARY TO CHECK THAT THE UNIT IS

IN FAIL POSITION (EXTENDED AND UNCOMPRESSED SPRING) BEFORE

DISMANTLING A SIMPLE EFFECT ACTUATOR (SPRING RETURN).

The dismantling of the actuator must be performed with extreme care, since

removing the seeger ring might eject the piston and might cause a serious

accident as well as serious damage to the equipment

Remove the cover (part. 13) and the piston (part. 10), then remove the stem (part. 4)

Replace the broken-down part making (part. 3, 11 and 12) sure you are using the correct

spare parts.

6.2) Reassembling

When it is assembled again, cleaning is essential for assuring a long service life.

Art. 2944 (Spring Return Actuator – Normal Closed):

Put the Stem (part. 4) inside of body actuator (part. 1). Put the springs (part. 7 and 8) in the

inside part and put the piston (part. 10), using some sort of lubricant to help perform the task.

Put the cover (part. 13) and then with the help of a small press apply some pressure on the

cover for compress the springs (part. 7 and 8) and then be able to put the seeger ring (part

14). Slowly loosen the pressure between these two planes until you can make sure the

seeger is properly placed.

Art. 2949 (Double Acting Actuator):

Put the Stem (part. 4) inside of body actuator (part. 1), then put the piston (part. 10), using

some sort of lubricant to help perform the task.

Put the cover (part. 13) and then with the help of a small press apply some pressure on the

cover and then be able to put the seeger ring (part 14). Slowly loosen the pressure between
